But with Hatch Theatrics’ latest production and final show of their residency at the Malay Heritage Centre, it’s a topic that feels fresh with Lanang’s … Continue reading Review: Lanang by Hatch Theatrics

In the third week of the Esplanade’s latest season of The Studios, actress Ellison Tan Yuyang will be performing Michelle Tan’s new work I am trying to say something true. The show revolves around the concept of loss, but does not directly address it, instead considering the distance and spaces between people and places, time and everything between what we know and what we feel. We spoke … Continue reading The Studios 2018: An Interview with T. Sasitharan (I am trying to say something true)

Review: Thick Beats for Good Girls by Checkpoint Theatre

Pooja Nansi and Jessica Bellamy delve into the history and personal significance of hip hop in a fun and insightful performance. Before we begin, take a moment to think about your favourite hip-hop artist is. Is it Tupac with the deeply emotional and strangely prescient The 7 Day Theory? Could it be pre-Kardashian Kanye West making waves and pushing genre boundaries with 808s & Heartbreak? Or is it … Continue reading Review: Thick Beats for Good Girls by Checkpoint Theatre

The Studios 2018: In The Silence of Your Heart (Review)

Kaylene Tan encapsulates the art of living in the in between in an innovative, sensory experience.  The term ‘between living and dying’ can be interpreted in a great many ways. You could  literally be on the brink of death, fully paralysed and barely breathing, yet still completely alive. Perhaps you’re already dead and gone, but your spirit and memories linger on in the space and … Continue reading The Studios 2018: In The Silence of Your Heart (Review)

If you think Twitter’s original 140 character limit was extreme, imagine a world where that was applied to real life, and each person allowed only to speak 140 words per day.  That’s the premise of Sam Steiner’s debut play Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons, serving as the virgin production of director/producer duo Adeeb … Continue reading Review: Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons by Adeeb & Shai

Review: 四马路 Four Horse Road by The Theatre Practice

History comes alive in The Theatre Practice’s most ambitious project yet.  Waterloo Street has become one of our most frequented areas in Singapore, serving as home to both The Theatre Practice and Centre 42. But in the rush of life we’re constantly caught up in, it’s very rare we get a chance to truly appreciate just how well preserved the buildings they’re housed in are, … Continue reading Review: 四马路 Four Horse Road by The Theatre Practice
